Learn what meaningful connection looks like as we discuss the language of Quality Time.
Talking Points:
- This language is all about spending meaningful time together. It doesn’t mean you just sit in the same room or sleep in the same bed. It’s about doing something together that invites meaningful connection.
- Quality time means you are engaging with one another talking about how things are going with work, kids, etc. You can do it over a dinner date or driving in the car running errands. The point is connecting and talking about things that matter.
- If Quality Time is your spouse’s language, ask them what quality time looks like to them. Ask them how they like to connect and what they like to talk about. Mark 10:45
